Nobody can celebrate being on a sinking ship like democrats. Looking back on my life, I have always thought of a roller coaster. All the excitement came from the drops, twists and turns. Politics is very similar to professional wrestling... they might travel together, but boy when they climb in the ring they put on…
We Are Like Little Children
The little ones are so trusting. You really have to work hard to lose their trust. I think most of us are like that. I know I have been in the past and I think it is a sad thing to lose, because when it's gone, what replaces it? Wisdom? Most likely cynicism. I'm afraid…
Brain Freeze
Is there anything more painful? I know the answer. The world is full of things way more painful than a brain freeze but holy hell I challenge you to come up with an example when you are right in the middle of one. That brings me to something I call The Curse of the Margarita. I…
Week Eight.
Well, this is just about the time of the football season where every game becomes a big deal. Coming up on the middle of the season. Everybody is talking about who's up, who's down, who's hurt and who's healthy. At least I suppose everybody is. This year, just like last year, I chose to not…
Oh, And It Was Birthday Weekend!
I have no idea what the title of this blog will be yet. I have so much on my mind and no idea where this bus will stop but I think it is really a continuation of my last post. We just had such an awesome weekend because we traveled to Knoxville to spend time…
Truth.
You know how it is in the doctor's office. You walk in and wait for that magical moment when the nurse swings the door open and calls your name, and you're so happy that you completely forget that you had an appointment but you still had to wait for over an hour. In an attempt…
Novella.
Fall Break 2017 and we have a visitor for the week, little miss Novella! I think our grandchildren will keep us young far beyond our years and I am hoping it will be a great week. Well, it looks like it's going to be a wet rainy week so I guess our outside activities…
Raining Leaves.
I know that it's time to welcome fall when my little Hometown Fair rolls into town and the Evansville Nut Festival is going on. We had a great time in Evansville last night with friends and family and spent today watching the falling of leaves, aided by on again, off again drizzle and a steady…
Outrage
Don't you think outrage is an odd emotion? I always thought of outrage, in the same vein as going berserk. He became outraged and just went berserk. In movies, it might look something like a cowboy riding up and finding his wife and little boy murdered in the barn, and the outlaws in the house eating…
Tom Petty
Well, I had hoped that it was all a misunderstanding but I guess there is no denying that we have lost a great one. Last night as conflicting reports swirled around, I went to Napster and pulled up his hits. The list is staggering. I've had all of his albums in one form or another…
